With such fair footfall, it can open with double-digit business i.e. 10-11 crores domestically. From overseas too, the movie is expected to receive quite good response from audience as it has been shot in Paris, also get promoted there on a good scale.

Yesterday, on 8th of December, it is premiered on Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF). Coming to the economics, then Befikre is produced with the budget of 55 crores and around 15 crores are spent on its Prints & Advertising.
